I see presents in your future :)

So it was Christmas of 2012, wow how fun! A year since I had met Shelly and we were now best friends! 
Katy (girl at the barn) sent me a picture of Shelly.

Katy: Maybe this will be under your tree this year :)

I prayed and prayed, that my parents would buy her. That they would find the money somewhere! Well that didn't happen, but I did get Shelly a present and she sure gave me one too! I made Shelly a stocking, with her name and a few mints and some sugar cubes. It was little, but meant the world to her, just like her present to me. Shelly slowed down her sitting trot, almost to a walk. It was the beginning of her adventure, and the beginning of mine.
